Wonderful Crazy

Matt is a 35-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around Asia until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.

A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt an idea. They were standing around taking pictures in Hanoi, and his friend said "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance. I'll record it." He was referring to a particular dance Matt does. It's actually the only dance Matt does. He does it badly. Anyway, this turned out to be a very good idea.

A couple years later, someone found the video online and passed it to someone else, who passed it to someone else, and so on. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."

---I cannot help loving wonderful people who get crazy with the joy of life! It kind of reminds me of SecondLife, half the time I am in there I seem to be dancing my ass off.

I am a resident of SecondLife. In my first life I live in the southernmost part of Sweden.

I am married to the wonderful, handsome and talented Tomais Ashdene, and was previously married to the likewise wonderful handsome and talented Ars Northmead until he passed away in 2010. It makes me proud and grateful to have earned the love of these two men.

I often change appearances but I am always stunningly handsome, mostly humble, often patient and sometimes friendly!

My interests are widely ranging and include, but are not limited to, art, fashion, music, literature, film, politics, law, community but above all people.
